36th MILO Marathon Finals 2012 – Results Discussion

First!

Had a great day (: Defeated my pr.1Ok with -4 mins! Congrats!!

yehey! 21k medal! yung iba na yun sa pros and cons. hehehe. comment ko lang bakit namigay pa ng medal ng mga 2 hrs 50 mins? no offense meant sa ibang runners pero ilang inuman session din ang hind ko pinuntahan para mag train for a sub 2 therefore finishing w/n the cut off of 2hrs 30 mins tapos makikita mo binibgyan pa yun mga lumagpas na ng cut off. deserving naman talaga lahat to get a medal pero this is a milo race. anyways congratz na rin sa lahat!

@masakittuhod

Un kasi ung excesses sa mga medals Naka-carve kasi sa medal e 36th e. So hindi na siya pedeng ibigay next time. Kaya kaysa itapon, ibigay na lang! :D

@celeritas kaya lang parang nawala na din yung pag ka exclusive niya na its only for those who finished w/n 2 hrs 30 mins. congratz na rin ulit sa lahat! :-)

One thing that I didn’t like, cups thrown into the streets. yes i know there are people who are gonna clean it but where’s the discipline of the people who joined? Just my 2 cents, no offense meant. it’s just an eye sore

Personally, I didn’t expect I will get a medal pa since I finished with a time of 2:40ish. It was a great consolation! I managed to beat my PR and I am happy about it. Sa next Milo, pwede ko masabi na karapat-dapat ako sa medal na yan. Train train lang!

Congrats to all the finishers! :)

Nag +10 ang Milo. Kaya yung 2:40 ay nabigyan pa din. Yung above 2:40 ay wala ng medal.

Korek kayo jan mga dodong at inday…pero hndi nman cguro makain yang medal pra ipag damot nasa tao na yan kung tanggapin nia kahit alam niang hndi cia pasok sa cut-off time hehehe joke

importante happy lahat at ng kakaisa tayong sa pg suporta sa iisang adhikain ang tulungan ang mga nanga2ylangan nyahahaha…

hindi sya actually 21k flat… 21k and 350 meters.. so its almost a 2mins add.. =))

Sa mga 21k runners, ok lang sana ung mga plastic cups ang itapon sa kalsada pero pati ba naman balat ng saging itinatapon pa rin sa kalsada na tatakbuhan ng mga runners, eh kung meron pang makatapak nun at madulas at mapasama ang bagsak,,, kalalabasan na injury ka pa sa balat ng saging dahil sa kagagawan ng mga mananakbong walang disiplina,,, di natin kailangan ang konting disiplina, kailangan natin maraming disiplina,,, mga pinoy nga naman,,, huh!!!

Natapos ko yung 36th Milo 21km with 6 minutes short ng 34th Milo 21km PR ko. from 1:40, 1:34 na ang PR ko time. Its very humid from the start pero after ng 10km ok na malamig na uli. Congratulations sa lahat ng naka PR din at tumakbo ng kanilang first 21km run.

Ako nga po, expected ko lagpas na ako sa cut off time, pero nung malapit na ako sa finish line, nakita ko may sinasabit na medal sa nga naka tapos, so dali dali akong tumakbo at nabigyan din ng medal – natapos ko ng 2 hrs and 40 something.

thanks milo.

Pushed myself to the limit! 53:30 for 10KM! :)

So happy, finished my first 21k before the cut off time. Congrats to all fellow runners

Congratz to all 21k finisher.. I got 2:30 my 1st 21k run with busted foot & cramp calf.. ;)

i had a bad run today due to lack of sleep and low glycogen level but still managed to finish by 2hrs. Exhausted ako from Splendido Run kgabi kaya dami ko water and walk breaks….+13 tuloy ako sa previous PR ko.

i think dapat sinunod nila ang cut-off time in 21KM. Paano yung mga nag training mabuti para maka-abot sa 2:30 cut-off? Kung alam ko lang ganon ang gagawin nila, sana hindi ko pinush ang sarili ko. No offense sa iba pero RULES is RULES, diba?

Hindi po. Rules ARE rules. Hehehe.
Kidding aside, I understand your sentiment, but I’m personally happy that those who ran slower than 2:30 in the 21k were given medals. Sayang kasi yong extra medals kung di pinamigay, and truth be said, every finisher deserves a medal. Besides, they know their finish time and the fact that the medal isn’t supposed to be given to those who didn’t make the cutoff time, and I think that knowledge is enough to prod them to do better next time.
I made it at 2:25 and was so happy! Great race. Thanks, Milo and RunRio :-)

I was surprise i had a medal finishing mh 21k in 2 hours 38.but that improve from my last 21k that ifinished in 2 hours 44. plus i tied my shoes middle of the race. but next i will train harder for the next milo. The race was something. Pag run rio talaga nag organize smooth ang race. no problems.. Till the next race.. Lets finish strong

Finished 21km 2:26. nagCR ako near HK plaza…hehehe…. will train more. and try to hit sub2 next year. Congratulations to all runners. I can really see the eagerness ng mga runners in the 1st 10km na gustong umabot ng cut off. Stay safe.

congrats sa lahat =)

Enjoyed the race! Iba talaga ang bunga ng training. Iba yung yabang lang sa pinag-hirapan! Hoho!

Finished the 21k for 2hr 21min pero sa Nike apps eh almost 22k ang distance na na-record. Hmmm…

To organizers, hindi talaga maiiwasan na cupless and/or banana peel less sa daan. Tulad ng nakagawian, lagi na lang ito ang problema, pero syempre di rin maiiwasan ng iba magtapon talaga, WAG NAMAN SA GITNA ng daan. Kung walang trashbin, pwede namang sa gilid itapon para iwas disgrasya. Let the marshalls do the rest after the event.

Goals met:
+Medal, +Certificate, +Loot Bag, -Injury

And really much enjoyed watching the cheering competition. Andaming chicks! Hehe…

Godbless and Congrats to all runners “who finished the race WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT”

^___^

Akala ko d ako makakatapos since my legs were injured, parang makakalas! Last 2k, di na sya ma bend kaya kahit tanaw ko ang finishline d ako makahataw, Thank God sakto 2:30 sa guntime! Got my 1st Milo medal, ano kaya gagaling tuhod ko?

tama lang din na +10 min sa cut off kasi yung by wave yung takbo. pano yung sa huling wave eh sa finsih line, gustart ang ref. nun.

Depende kasi ‘yung total distance niyo sa kung saang side kayo ng kalsada tumatakbo. Ang pagsukat nila ng distance diyan ay ginagamitan ng tangents, ‘yung shortest route possible. Kapag nasa outermost side ka sa isang turn, may dagdag na ‘yun sa total distance.

d ko umabot sa cut-off more than a min. ako sa cut off time kala ko nga wla na ko medal. buti pa nung RU natapos ko ng 2:27.iba rin tlga pag consistent ka pagdating sa training. kinakabahan 2loy ko kung matatapos ko un condura FM nxt year. ok tlga un event pg runrio ang organizer.nakatuwa din kanina un kasabay ko na c ateng petite sa my ccp, she was encouraging her fellow runners to run since malapit na sa finish line.namotivate nmn ko tumakbo khit masakit na tuhod ko cute kc nya.hehehe e2 masakit pa rin un tuhod tapos dalawang kuko sa paa parang naghhingalo na rin. :( cguro mali un running shoes na gamit ko ngaun.pero pag 21k lng sumasakit un kuko ko pero pag 10k d ko nmn narramdaman.pahelp nmn po kng ano b dapat ko gawin. tnx po sa lahat ng magrreply.

I had an awesome time running my 1st half marathon with MILO today. Great job MILO!!

Quick question for runners : My time is 2:17:47, and it’s my 1st time? Is this a good time? Because I really think that i screw up

Good Run, except u know pinoy loves photobooth kahit may camera na.There were some nice runner who share raising which I took even 5 pieces lang. Thanks, Some runners concern about other runners, Small talk, u know. Thanks. Lets keep our Runner community a Friendly Community. Lets start by keeping our trash in place. Maybe we can invite some MMDA to catch those who litter next time.

cguro naman kahit late ako ng 2 minutes gunstart ok lang got the medal for 21K
my time 02:31:52. thats my new PR improve by 11minutes!!!

@Jessa Alam ko kung saan mo yan nabasa :)

hirap na hirap ako sa run kanina. halos mahimatay na ako kakatakbo maintaining my pace para pasok sa cutoff… wala din kasi ako training for 2weeks tapos, xmas party pa kagabi.. after i cross, tumambay ako sa side para maka recover tapos pag tingin ko lagpas na 2.30 namimigay pa rin medal… tsk tsk tsk.. popost ko pa naman sana ung picture ko sa facebook ng nakamedal, kaso wag n lang pala. hindi rin kasi pala sya exclusive for 2.30 and below finisher. :(

Great race! Finished it before the cutoff, and I thought I wasn’t going to make it.

Okay ang organizers, naubusan nga lang ako ng powerade sa finish line pero it’s okay. Okay na ako sa tubig.

More power sa Milo at Runrio! :)

Thank you Milo. Nag enjoy ako.

Mukhang marami ang bitter regarding sa cut-off time and “medal”, sabagay my point nga naman na kung bakit naglagay pa ng cut-off time kung hindi naman masusunod. pero i don’t think na kau lang ang nagready at nagtraining ng husto to beat the cut-off time. siguro din, all runners ay dumanas din ng matinding hirap mahabol lang yun cut-off time, so i think everyone still deserve a good reward, and i know that they are aware and still hoping for improvement.

btw, i don’t know what so special about the milo marathon but this event really gives me unconditional joy, especially after finishing the race. =) cheers everyone!

photo sharing please for 21K category.. :)))

bakit na big deal kung pasok sa cut off? more than 21k ung distance, 300+ meters ung excess. I finished mine 6 minutes after the cut off and gulat din ako bakit may medal pa ko. I maintained my pace for 19 kilometers then decide to slow down for my last 2.

didn’t do well this year. i made it last year, pero ngaun, di talaga kinaya. anyways, there are lots of time to really prepare na for the next milo finals. redemption it is next year! haha. congrats pala kay bro gerome/pyxcel for making it this time. nagkabaliktad tayo ng outcome this year bro! haha. congrats na din sa lahat ng finishers – with or without medal. what matters is di tayo na-DNF. happy holidays! :D

Congrats to all finishers!! Comment ko lang, runners in the 21k and 42k category will receive a finishers medal UPON COMPLETION of the race. hindi po sinabi na “within the time limit”. sa certificate po applicable yun.

enjoy the run at milo daming give away saya saya

Owning a medal is just a reward. If you’re a runner, your target is to beat your previous Personal Record. If you’ve met the cut off then good. You know the pain, we all do endured it. Everyone who finished the whole course deserves it.

iLove iT.. Finished the Run without injury….

made it on time @ 2:29.

sobrang disappointed lang ako kasi may mga magnanakaw na nakasali sa race. i heard madami daw mga fake bibs na naproduce. siguro para makapasok mga anonymous bandits (literally) para mang gulo at mangdukot.

nung 17km mark dapat ako magttake ng GU gel ko, then i noticed bukas na ung pouch ng belt ko and wala na laman pati ung pera ko.

ang gagaling….nagttraining sa mga marathon para mangdukot. asan na mga pulis at marshals?

sa sobrang galit ko, adrenaline rush na lang naging running fuel ko. ayun, umabot naman.

alerto na tyo sa susunod, napasok na ng sindikato ang mga funruns at marathons

wag na sana pagusapan issue ng cutoff, pasok din po ako sa cutoff 2:20 with knee injury, i risk my life and took 3 advils just to endure the pain, pero mas nakatutuwa isipin na mas marami parin nakakuha ng medal beyond the cut off, kung ikaw nasa kalagayan nila diba mas pabor din sau. spare it guys, its christmas time, time for giving.

For those who did the Marathon, the last turn around last year was at the American Cemetery and it said the same in this year’s race maps. But in the race itself, the turn around was at Mcknley Hill road junction a good 500m or more further than last years! Now my question is, if the route for last year was AIMs certified, why did they bother to legthen it this time around? My Soleus recorded total distance of 43.4km, same for other people’s watches I checked with, all were >43km!

mas mabuti na nakakuha ka ng medal dahil tinapos mo ang race kaysa naman sa iba na nanghihingi ng medal at loot bag kahit hindi tinapos o nag-shortcut. o kaya naman umabot ka sa cutoff tapos naubusan ka na ng medal

the race organizer and the main sponsor have their own reason why they gave finishers medal even after the prescribed cutoff. pwede naman na nila itapon ang mga hindi naipamigay. maaaring nanghinayang na lang sila. tinapos mo naman ang buong distansya. pakunswelo na lang sa lahat ng mga sumali

im guessing the cutoff policy will be strictly put into place again next year during eliminations :)

I only ran 5k, and most of the runners were students. Pag pumunta sila sa hydration area at walang tubig yung cups, kukunin pa rin nila para lang itapon sa sahig. Kumuha ako ng cup sa last hydration station, pinipi ko tapos nilagay ko sa bulsa ko. Sana may kahit isang bata na nakakita at gumaya.

Dumarami ang malalakas sa 21K. O mga sandbagger lang na hindi nakapasok sa 42K eliminations…..:D

Congrats sa lahat!…..

Tama nga po, WALANG TIME LIMIT PARA SA MEDAL, yung certificate lang (Runner’s Handbook, p.9).

Ang problema lang ay yung isang Belle namin na hindi nakakuha ng medal. Tumakbo pa naman kahit may sakit… =(

@ Joey,

Alam ko this year lang sila na-certify ng IAAF, hence the changes. Marami na nag-complain niyan sa Elims pa lang. But if you ask me, mas paniniwalaan ko ang governing body kesa sa GPS watches. =)

I think organizers should be strict moving forward. For this event I’m kinda disappointed dun sa mga taong “nagnakaw” and walang disiplina. Maybe we should stop talking about the cutoff and the medal issue. Happy happy na lang lahat and it’s Xmas time :)

Ganun po ba @Running Buddies? walang Cutoff time sa Medal? ngeh… kapos na nga paa ko para mahabol yung cutoff time ng 21K..Pero okay lng kahit panu..nakuha ku nmn in just 2:29:31secs… challenging para sa akin… !!!Mabuhay. its my first 21K…

lagpas ako sa cutoff but still got the medal and certificate.. do I feel sorry for my self? yes and no.. yes because I know I could do better.. I almost give up.. Im still on my 10k training, though this is my third and worse time ever. and NO.. because this is my first full – barefoot run for the 21k distance. I thought that I wont receive anything until I got on the last curve which I run as fast as I can. Luckily No blisters..

Sa mga nagtatapon naman ng cups, napagsabihan ko tuloy yung dalawang bata sa loob ng activity area kasi nagtapon ba naman sa harap nya mismo samantalang few step away back lang yung basurahan.. sabi ko “ayun yung basurahan oh.. “.. buti naman at at sumunod..

1st time to join milo marathon and i got my 1st 21k finisher medal and 21k certs @2:30mins. kahit masakit na tuhod at katawan ko still manage to finish the race.

Oo nga @Pongscript. hanggang tingin nlng ako sa mga taong ganyan..ang laki ng basurahan eh..pati balat ng saging sa gitna pa …

Runningshield / Patrick Concepcion – Milo 2012.
thank you i had a great time

had a great run yestaerday. our goal was to make it to sub 2… though kinapos kmi ng almost 3 mins… nevertheless, we did our best kaya happy pa din. my first time to run 21km at milo kaya memorable, first time ko dinsa ruta going to baclatan.. dami sasakyan, at ang usok.. hehehehe. pero aus lang,, dami nmn ksabay na runners over vehicles!!

Last time 2:31 Ako 21k. .so I trained and lost some weight for my second try. Unfortunately I had diarrhea last sat, really feeling so weak, I just took Imodium so I can still run, but still feel weak…I felt sad I wasn’t able to do better. Next year nalang uli.

Dapat kung may cut-off ang 21k para sa limitadong makakatangap lang ng medal, kahit man lang certificate. Anyway, tapos na naman, hope maging ok next time na event. Kung di naman sa mga runners di rin mape-pursue ang event na to. Magsuportahan tayo! God bless

magulo din kasi definition ng finisher (kahit walong oras ka nag 21k dapat may medal) or finished w/n the cut off time.

anyways, share ko lang yun nakita ko. may isang runner pag kuha niya ng cup balik uli sya sa middle lane. nun naubos na niya water, tinapon niya na lang basta yun cup sa left niya w/o even looking. tumalbog yun cup sa leg nun isang runner! hahahah! napahinto yun tinamaan sa sobrang gulat or sobrang inis. wow, kung mangyari sa akin yun wala ng pr pr, pagssabihan ko yun ungas na yun.

ayos na ayos ang run ko kasi ganda ng route..

running to milo is more fun in the philippines!

+1M – our co-runner did her best kahit di maganda pakiramdam niya and after she finished the 21km e WALA NG MEDAL at WALA PA SIYANG LOOTBAG!

Inspite of this, I congratulate all runners who finished and beat their PR. Cheers!

My first MILO run. Also my first Milo medal. Since I already run 21k respectively, I already beat my last 21k run at RUPM. kala q wla ng medal aqng aabutan kc late n aq ng 3min s cut off tym. Buti na lang meron pa pala. well next 21k run would be much early than this.

Kudos to all runners.:)

I finished mine 6 minutes after the cut-off. I am not expecting a medal and certificate though. Sinabi lang sakin na they gave extra 10 minutes kasi nga walang wave. Nakakainis lang yung iba dito na masyadong big deal kung bakit nabigyan ng medal yung iba na dapat eh parang sila lang dapat magkaroon kasi they finished theirs within or under the cut-off.

I maintained my 9-10km/hr speed for my first 19km and decided to slow down sa ika 20 kasi medyo exhausted na saka ko nalang hinirit nung ikaw 21 na. Mas mahirap naman kung nameet mo yung cut-off pero injured ka naman, wala rin. Safety first.

At isa pa, extended ang distance ng 300 meters. Everyone who owns a GPS watch would agree na sobra nga.

Wag nalang sanang gawing big deal yung sa medal. Kasi kung runner ka ang concern mo yung sarili mong PR, kung nakikipag compete ka mali ang sinalihan mo. Walang kinalaman ang “medal” o ang ibang PR sa ikabibilis mo.

para sa akin sagrado ang medalya ng milo, andaming event dyan na namimigay ng medal kahit sa 3k pwedi ka na makakuha pero ang medal ng milo di basta basta, kilangan mo maghirap, mag-sakripisyo, masaktan, ma-injury… kung gusto nyo talaga ng medalya paghirapan nyo, pakita nyo sa sarili nyo na kaya nyo, pero kung wala kayong tyaga magpunta na lang kayo ng recto…

para sa mag nag-complain nung medal after cutoff time…may nabasa din kasi ako na post ni Rio na saying “no medal & certificate for those who did not make the cut-off time” pero magulo kasi yung sa handbook ang sabi lang finishers will get a medal, cert. n loot bag. Just to be fair din naman siguro sa mga nag-effort to meet the cutoff time, sana the organizers give them credits na after cutoff no more medals. mahirap din naman kasi mag-train. Oo nga, nag-train din naman yung iba but still not enough o kaya hindi tlaga kaya ng powers nung runner nung time nayun…kaya next time do better nlang. Para kasi sa mga naka-tapos within cutoff time, they feel na exclusive yung medal for finishing the race within the time limit and to say na this is a race (kaya nga may winners) kaya runners should run as fast as he can.

nung first time ko sumali sa Milo (21K), hindi ako umabot sa cut-off time (+7mins yata) pero wala na binigay na medal & cert (loot bag nlng inabot ko, pinaubos nlang kasi yung mga next 20 or less person behind me wala na binigay na lootbag). Disappointed ako nun sa sarili ko kasi from my last 21K I finished it 2:20. Pero nga dahil lagpas ako sa cutoff time wala nga binigay, so sa next runs ko I prepare well nd I got my medal. Pero bakit nga sa run kahapon meron pa din pala nakaka-tanggap ng medals kahit lagpas na sa cutoff time. Hindi naman tayo sa nag-dadamot sa medal pero nga sana respect naman natin sa mga nag-effort to meet the cut-off time, lalo na doon sa mga nag-sprint nung makita nila na 2:29 na sa clock just to meet the time. ****Attn sa Organizer pls****

But overall yesterday run is another good one. I did not beat my PR for my 21K but still able to finished within the cutoff time, Yun nga lang after the run bihis lang then alis agad (nood pa kasi laban ni Pacman….kaya lng talo)

Anyway…congratulations to all the runners, See you on the next runs!

Owning a medal is just a complimentary thing. Beating your previous personal record matters most.

medal issue pdin? hehehe, pabayaan nyo na kc yan. ano naman gagawin ni rio sa matitirang medal eh ibang edition na yan next year, better na ipamigay na yan kht lagpas cut off, maswerte pdin tau na nabigyan within the cutoff and outside the cutoff. yung isang team mate namen hnd na tlga halos nabigyan ng medal and lootbag, considering she did her best kahit na maysakit. pero hnd nmn xa nag complain. minsan guys its better parin na maging MAKATAO kesa maging MAKA-RULES.

Woohoo.. finally a podium finish – umabot sa no. 10 for 10k . Dissapointed sa time though…

pictures pls??? 21k runners :((((((((

@forrestgump – natumbok mo pre! Galing! Apir! @jumong kung pr lang naman pala ang important sa race eh di dapat wala na din trophy yung mga nag top, wala ng cash prize at wala ng podium finishers. Lahat pala nyan complimentary lamg eh.

@ pongscipt, dmi tlga runners n ganyan! n kung saan saan lng ngttpon ng cups at blat ng bananas. ang mtindi p jan eh un ngbuhuhos ng tubig mlapit s hydration area. prang itik lng n hlos dun n mligo! exagerated pro totoong nwitness ko yan s run n to! kya wag n tau mgtka kung mhal ang mga race events kc khit un tha linis ng klat ntin eh binbyaran ng mga organizers!

maghirap? lahat naman naghirap eh. Kung required pala mainjure eh di para mo ng sinabi na hindi ka nag train? hahaha! I am saying this to defend those na hindi umabot sa cut-off. Ako umabot dahil doon sa +10 ng milo. Wag nalang gawing big deal sana.

I ran for 5k and it was a great run.

Nakakainis lang yung mga runners especially yung mga students na nakikita na nga nilang may SHOOT YOUR TRASH HERE sa mga waterstations eh kinakalat pa din nila sa daan yung mga cups nila. Nakakainis diba? Diba? Tapos may mga lalakeng estudyante na bastos (yung mga naka red na jogging pants)

Tapos yung mga estudyante pa din na mga naka red na jogging pants, noong nasa may pa u turn nang area , nag short cut na yung iba. Nakakaasar diba? Diba? Tapos may kasabay akong lalakeng may edad na sinabi niya na…. “Kay babata niyo pa madudugas na kayo”…

Over all masaya pa din kahit papano
Congratulations guys!

Kaya nila sinasabi yan dahil we felt bad when we weren’t able to get the medal during the elims. Kaya we trained hard, hard to enough for us to reach the cutoff time dahil para kaming wala lang nung elims. Pagdating ng finish line, ni tubig wala kaming nakuha. How would you feel kung ganon naencounter nyo? Kaya talagang nagtrain kami para sa finals. We’re not saying na you guys didn’t train hard, kaya lang kung alam lang namin na ganon, edi sana hindi na namin pinwersa sarili namin na umabot sa cutoff time. May mga taong magdedemanda pa daw kasi dapat daw lahat meron medal. Sabi nga ni Noelle “Kikay Runner” de guzman sa blog nya, Milo Marathon wouldn’t be Milo Marathon without those cutoff time. Kaya sya naging premiere running event dahil don, dahil hindi lahat nakakakuha ng medal, kelangan pa pumasok sa cutoff time para lang makakuha non. Well, maging Proud na lang tayo na nakuha natin ang elusive Milo Marathon Medal within the cutoff time at hindi dahil sa nagextend ang time or dahil kelangan ubusin ang medal kasi useless na next year.

At ung sa nagsasabi na lagpas ng 21k ang route, learn to cut tangents, kung sa outer lane kayo nakaposition malamang mas sobra sa 21k ang tinakbo nyo or nirecord ng gps nyo kasi inner lanes ang ginagamit sa pagsukat ng 21k. Read Kikayrunner blogs, madami kayo matututunan.

hello! to all photographer sa milo 36th marathon kindly send me the link po kung saan ko ma ggrab ang mga pic.. [email protected]

for the record, di pa po ako nakatakbo ng 21k sa milo, pero may sapat na akong balls para sabihing kaya ko ang 21 dahil marami na akong natakbuhan na ganyan pero aminado ako na hanggang ngayon di ko kaya ang cut-off time…

maging tapat tayo sa sarili natin, kung di kaya ang cut-off wag pilitin, dahil kung sa sarili mo di mo kayang tumangap ng kahinaan di mo rin kayang tangapin ang katutuhanan…

pero di pa ako nawawalan ng pag-asa dahil di pa tapos ang training ko…

>my first 21k ….. 3hours & 13minutes …. awesome!!!!

>learned a lot …. many thanks to Medics where I do the hopping. :)

>hydration stations are great …. suggest that we do basketball sometimes so we could shoot that cups …. 3points!!!!
>medal, i will have one of those in due time …. nevertheless I’ll still run …..

simplified form.
pag di ka umabot ng cutoff di ka finisher, disqualified. therefore no medal.
not finisher, disqualified, no medal. yan ang rule. (dapat!)

pakunswelo na lang ang mga nabigyan ng medal. for whatever reason baket nagbigay pa sila, sila na nakakaalam nun.

magreklamo na lang kung finisher ka (Meaning ka umabot sa cutoff time)
tapos di ka nabigyan ng medal.

Yey! First Milo run. Masaya kahit 10k lang un tinakbo ko. Mahirap pala tumakbo kapag may sipon at dry throat kasi di makahinga ng maayos. Hahaha! =) Next time ulet.

this was my first Milo Marathon Finals and i had fun!!!! got my first Milo Marathon Finals medal (more to come…)!!! uhm, sa mga nagrereklamo sa mga naka-kuha ng medal sa 21k after ng cut-off time, di nyo po ba naisip na it’s not entirely their fault????

kasi may cut-off time for first 10k diba (which is 1:30 hrs)??? kung dun palang pinahinto na sila, edi wala na siguro nakakuha ng medal after cut-off….hmmmm… also, sabi nga nung mga hosts, 2830 runners for 21k!!!! kung matagal na kayong tumatakbo, alam nyo na siguro kung gaano kahaba yung pila ng runners. so i guess, yung pinaka-huling set ng runners e nakatawid ng starting line after 10-15 minutes (maybe even more) na after gunstart….

tsaka tama yung ilan na nagsabi na alam mo naman kung deserving ka sa medal. kung nag-shortcut ka para umabot sa cut-off time, sa tingin mo deserving ka ba???? tsaka naisip ko lang, 21k lang tinakbo nyo mga sir at ma’am…mas maiintindihan ko pa kung 42k tinakbo nyo :)

congrats sa lahat ng nakatapos na nakakuha ng medal at sa tinapos pa din yung takbo kahit wala na silang nakuha na medal….. :)

Hoping this’ll be my best PR i missed to start my soleus watch on time. But regarding the entire event, it was well organized. the route was something new for a Runrio organized run. i enjoyed the 2 small flyover w/c i conquered and never walked during(bragging aside):) hydration was plentiful and the banana station was at the perfect spot- just when i needed a shot of cark and K. Kudos both to Runrio and Milo Philippines for a job well done with the entire 36th National Milo Marathon.
PS thanks to those who liked my “Running Knows No Gender. #LGBT” tech shirt esp to those who smiled and talked to me on the route:D

di ko mapigilang hindi magcomment.ang saya magbasa pero mas masaya kapg nagcomment ka..

for medal issue,ii think that those runners na outside sa cutoff time eh hndi rin inexpect na may medal sila
kase known tlaga ang milo for cutoffs..runners will not register if they knew na d nila kaya umabot sa cutoff,,some of them tried to run within the cutoff..so npakalaking bonus sa kanila nung medal.

kasr un ung mga medal na natira..ung mga medal na para sa ndi umabot ng cutoff fron previous races..hehehe..so pamasko na nila yung medals sa finals..

race was great..asteeeg..Milo everyday..nkakaLSS padin ung milo theme..hahaha

Results pls

Ang yayabang ng mga runner na nag cocomplain kung bakit nakakuha ng medal ung mga lagpas cut-off.. Akala mo naman sila lang ang nag train at nag hirap para maka finish ng 21k within or beyond cut-off time… I finished my 21k way within sa cut-off time bur ni katiting hindi ko inisip na i was better dun sa mga nahuli sa akin… It’s the the effort exerted to achieve the distance that should be respected and not the time it took…. Sana makarma ang mga mayayabang na runners dyan…. or at least in one of your long runs, you could at least learn humility….

be it also noted that not all have an equal chance to cross the starting line simultaneously. some crosses the start line way beyond when the gun start was fired due to the volume of participants, its jut but fitting to adjust the cut-off time to be fair and equal.. congrats finishers!

I agree with Bjorn (comment 90)…

Hayaan nyo na yung mga nakakakuha ng medal kahit na lagpas na sa cut-off time. May rights namang baguhin ng organizers yung rules nila pagdating sa ganun. Ano naman kasi ang gagawin nila dun sa natirang mga medal kung hindi nila ipapamigay? Sa mga nauubusan naman ng medal sorry na lang kasi kung tuusin wala na talaga kayong medal kasi sobra sobra na kayo sa cut-off time kaya isipin nyo na lang first come first serve yung mga medal.

Ang importante naman hindi yung medal, kundi kung na beat mo yung PR. Mas mahalaga naman siguro yung na-break mo yung PR mo di ba kesa sa medal.

@elgimikero naka BTAG po tayo, ang alam ko po simultaneous yung pag-on ng B-TAG reader at yung gun fire. kung may mga nag cross po dun sa BTAG reader bago yung gun fire wala silang starting time.

para medal lang. wag ng maramot! ano kasing time nyo at galit na galit kayo na nagka medal yung mga di umabot sa cut off?

may TAMAH ka dyan eLgimikero (comment 92)

@elgimikero mali ang basa ko hahaha… sorry, iretract my statement. pero just the same if you time yourself pwede mo naman syang i-contest after kasi meron ka naman chip time.

Results please :)

yung mga nagrereklamo pwd nman mag contest nung race day, bkt hnd kau dun nagreklamo hehehe, sa presinto nlng kau magpaliwanag..

Tagal ng results! I’m hoping for a sub-two sa chip time ko kasi yung gun time ko is flat na 2 hours.. Not bad for my second 21k!

may result na. hehehe Official Time ko 1:35:31. Pero nung lagpas ko ng finish line 1:34:seconds pa yung time pero ok lang. it still 9 minutes improvement sa November 17, TBR Dream Run. PR ko talaga is 1:33 Octoberunfest 2010 pero ayaw kong paniwalaan kasi kulang daw yung distance. itong Milo ang Best PR ko.

May nakakatawa lang na entry 1:30 guntime nyan 1:00 chiptime nya. tapos wala pa syang 6km and 13km data.

Although iilan lang naman yung kulang kulang data, pero di ba mapapaisip ka nagshortcut kaya yung mga yun?
